Fed's Kocherlakota: Agricultural Land Values Not "Out Of Whack" online.wsj.com Demand for U.S. farmland has jumped to a five-year high, spurred on by a profitable grain market and a boost in buyer interest from both farm operators and land investors. While demand rose sharply during the last quarter of 2010, the supply of available farmland fell to historically low levels. southwestfarmpress.com Especially worrisome, Jason Henderson of the Kansas City Fed said he’s hearing about farmers leveraging the purchase of new farmland. They are using the accumulated appreciated value of their current land holdings to finance new land purchases, just like was done during the late 1970s. The question is whether we have failed to remember what happened in the 1980s when the bubble burst. southwestfarmpress.com

HRN: Bernanke has been in the media, saying that inflation will stimulate the U.S. economy and help create jobs without causing prices to go up. Jim Rickards: It’s propaganda. I had a discussion with former Fed governor, no reason to mention the name, who is a very well known economist, and what he said was that behind closed doors the Federal Open Market Committee spends about 10% of their time on policy and 90% of their time on communication. They very quickly arrive at what they’re going to do and then spend the vast majority of their time thinking about messaging and wordsmithing. Well, there’s a name for that. It’s called propaganda. news.goldseek.com
